Trusted advice on unauthorised change of use, alterations, sub-letting, nuisance and other breaches of lease
JB Leitch works on behalf of landlords, remedying breaches of covenant by leaseholders (whether a residential leaseholder or a breach of a commercial lease) which may include:
change of use from commercial to residential;
unauthorised alterations;
unlawful sub-letting;
failure to notify of assignment or transfer;
nuisance; or
disrepair.
Often the landlord must take action in order to avoid being in breach of lease with other leaseholders in the block or being deemed to having waived the right to forfeit over the said breach. Taking action may also deter other leaseholders within a development acting in a similar manner.
Breach issues can sometimes generate negative feeling towards managing agents. By instructing JB Leitch, managing agents take themselves out of the picture and help to defuse the situation.
